Having problem with php var's...

[mangoman]

I have this simple code...

<? 
echo("Test is : ".$test); 
?>

I was under the impression that when i call the script(test.php) using something like :
http://localhost/test.php?test=Foo

It would print out "Test is $test", (which in this case is "Foo", so it'd print "Test is Foo")

However, it does not appear to be doing so on my test apache server.
($test is just blank/non existant!)

Anyone know what i'm doing wrong?

Thanks

Same old question gets asked about 3 times a day!

I suspect that register_globals is set to OFF in your PHP.ini. You could switch that back on, OR you should reference variables passed in the URL like so

<? echo("Test is : ". $_GET['test']); ?>

Incidentally, if your variables are passed from a form using METHOD=POST, you can get at those variables using:

<? echo("Test is : ". $_POST['test']); ?>

Works fine now.
